In the following embodiments, in particular, the electronic cassette type of X-ray detecting apparatus is described, but this does not limit the present invention.
  • the first embodiment of the electronic cassette type of X-ray detecting apparatus (electronic cassette) according to the present invention is described below.
  • FIG. 1 is a cross section illustrating the structure of the electronic cassette in the present embodiment, viewed from the X-ray incident side.

  • a battery (not shown) is disposed inside the electronic cassette 1 , permitting the electronic cassette 1 to be operated without a cable. It is to be understood that the electronic cassette 1 may be operated with a cable connected, without disposing a battery in the casing.
  • the connection of the additional function modules 21 to the electronic cassette 1 adds a moving-image radiographing mode to the radiographing mode of the electronic cassette 1 in addition to a still-image photographing mode. That is, a radiographing mode is changed a still image radiographing mode and a moving image radiographing mode into a selectable state.
  • the addition of the additional function modules 21 makes the performance of the electronic cassette 1 desirable for moving image radiographing.

Connecting at least one of the additional function modules 21 changes the radiographing mode from the still-image radiographing mode to the moving-image radiographing mode. For this reason, detaching all the additional function modules 21 from the electronic cassette 1 automatically changes the radiographing mode from the moving-image radiographing mode to the still-image radiographing mode.
  • a control circuit operates as a selection unit for changing a radiographing mode from a still image radiographing mode and a moving image radiographing mode into a selectable state.
  • the electronic cassette 1 is connected to an external computer to confirm images and transfers signals stored in the memory 8 thereto. Only the memory 8 can be made detachable to be connected to an external computer. Signals are therefore processed in the external computer and images are displayed on an external display.
  • the additional function modules 21 can be additionally connected to the electronic cassette 1 with the basic configuration.
  • the additional function modules 21 include, for example, a storage device, image processing circuit, display, wireless communication circuit, light source, cooling element, heat radiator plate and battery. At least one of these additional function modules 21 is properly combined to be connected to the electronic cassette 1 , allowing radiographing a moving image and extending the time period for the moving image radiographing. Thus, when a moving image is not radiographed, the electronic cassette 1 can be reduced in weight, and when the additional function modules 21 are connected, a moving image can be radiographed.
  • FIG. 1 illustrates a configuration in which eight additional function modules 21 are connected. The figure illustrates four out of eight additional function modules 21 .
  • a partitioning wall 14 is arranged between the areas where the sensor panel 2 and the additional function modules 21 are disposed.

  • AD analog to digital
  • the reading circuit 6 is provided with a low noise AD converter and a signal processing circuit of low driving speed most suitable for the still image radiographing and the signal processing circuit is provided with AD converter and a signal processing circuit of high driving speed, a digital signal suitable for the moving image can be derived.
  • the connection of the image processing circuit to the electronic cassette 1 enables to correct a signal transferred from the reading circuit 6 .

It also properly selects and performs the following processes; recognition of X-ray irradiation field, gray scale transform adapted to image diagnosis, reduction of grid stripes, frequency processing (edge emphasis, emphasis of portions lower in contrast and sharpness), addition of signals.
  • An image processing circuit processes the digital signal from the reading circuit 6 using FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array), or SOC (System On a Chip). This structure does not cause a delaying and therefore suitable for the moving image since the signal processing is performed within the electronic cassette.
  • the image processing circuit including the FPGA or SOC adapted to a necessary image processing function can be selected for being connected. Accordingly, since unnecessary image processing circuit is not connected, power supplying to such unnecessary image processing circuit can be saved. The power consumption can be reduced.
  • the fundamental structure thereof does not include the image processing circuit. In case of such structure, the digital signal form the reading circuit 6 is directly outputted to an external. However, even in such case, the image processing circuit provided with FPGA and SOC having minimum function such as a fixed pattern noise correction or the like may be provided therein in the still image radiographing. Because, such minimum function structure is in general relatively low power consumption one. If the image processing circuit has a function to output signals to the outside, the circuit can be connected to the external display to display X-ray images. In such structure, since it is unnecessary to output the signal to the external image processing circuit, high speed moving image can be performed.
  • the connection of the display to the electronic cassette 1 permits confirming X-ray images in real time at a place of X-ray radiographing.

  • the connection of the wireless communication circuit to the electronic cassette 1 further enables long-time X-ray radiographing irrespective of the capacity of the storage device.

  • the connection of the cooling element to the electronic cassette 1 in the moving image radiographing in particular, can provide an image with less degrading with time if a continuous X-ray radiographing is performed for a long time. For this reason, a time period is extended during which images can be continuously radiographed with the power supply turned on, irrespective of the radiographing mode such as still image radiographing or moving image radiographing.
  • connection of the heat radiator plate to the electronic cassette 1 produces the same effect as that of the cooling element.
  • connection of the battery to the electronic cassette 1 allows extending the operating time of the electronic cassette 1 .

  • the connection of the cooling element or the heat radiator plate and the battery as the additional function module forms the minimum configuration which is best suited for light weight and long-time moving image radiographing. This is because the configuration can maintain the optimum operating temperature in the device for a long time.
  • the electronic cassette 1 achieves high speed moving image radiographing by further adding thereto a reading circuit. In case of adding the reading circuit, though the power consumption and heat generation increase, since the cooling element or heat radiation plate and battery are already connected thereto, long time operation of the apparatus and maintaining a suitable operation temperature are achieved.
  • the aforementioned additional function modules can be provided with a control circuit. This enables bilateral communication with the control circuit 7 in the electronic cassette 1 and distributed processing, increasing a processing speed.
